Some commentators suggested that, at the age of 42, Jen had fallen into the mutton-dressed-as-lamb trap. Possibly, but when that mutton happens to be just as attractive as the lamb, why not show it off?</span></p><p> </p><div class="relatedItemsTopBorder"> </div> <p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">No, the problem with her dress is nothing to do with age-appropriateness. It’s all down to the fact that it breaks all the rules of extreme cleavage.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">The most important plunging neckline commandment is that if your bosom is on display, everything else must be covered up. Flashing the flesh works only if you do just that — flash it, don’t put the whole lot on display.<br /></span></p><div class="clear"> </div><div class="artSplitter"><div class="first third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E71584100000578-448_196x604.jpg" alt="HIT: If model Heidi Klum keeps her legs covered with a plunge-front, let that be a lesson to all of us" class="blkBorder" height="604" width="196" /> <p class="imageCaption"><span style="color: rgb(212, 38, 153);">HIT:</span> If model Heidi Klum keeps her legs covered with a plunge-front, let that be a lesson to us all</p></div><div class="third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E716EEE00000578-626_196x604.jpg" alt="HIT: The retro fringing on January Jones' skirt and her willowy frame stop it looking too H&amp;M" class="blkBorder" height="604" width="196" /> <p class="imageCaption"><span style="color: rgb(212, 38, 153);">HIT: </span>The retro fringing on January Jones' skirt and her willowy frame stop it looking too H&amp;M<br /></p></div><div class="third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E714B3A00000578-626_196x604.jpg" alt="HIT: Rather than putting it all on show, pop singer Gwen Stefani's sequinned jumpsuit hints at cleavage" class="blkBorder" height="604" width="196" /> <p class="imageCaption"><span style="color: rgb(212, 38, 153);">HIT:</span> Rather than putting it all on show, Gwen Stefani's sequinned jumpsuit hints at cleavage<br /></p></div><div class="clear"> </div></div> <p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Then there’s the issue of fake tan. A red carpet gown often demands a bit of a glow (unless you’re deliberately working that January Jones alabaster skin thing), but a large expanse of fake-baked flesh not only cheapens the outfit, it also ages the wearer. Jennifer definitely went too far with the bronzer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">And should you be brave enough to consider an extreme cleavage, it’s important not to make the look too fussy with over-enthusiastic embellishment and accessories. The plunge itself should provide all the excitement you need.</span></p><div class="clear"> </div><div class="artSplitter"><div class="first third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E716AA800000578-256_196x616.jpg" alt="MISS: Too much thigh and boobage for Jennifer Aniston in this unflattering number" class="blkBorder" height="616" width="196" /> <p class="imageCaption"><span style="color: rgb(212, 38, 153);">MISS:</span> Too much thigh and boobage for Jennifer Aniston in this unflattering number</p></div><div class="third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E7174C700000578-447_196x616.jpg" alt="MISS: Slashed to the navel and up to the thigh, this makes Lady Gaga look like an unconvincing drag queen" class="blkBorder" height="616" width="196" /> <p class="imageCaption"><span style="color: rgb(212, 38, 153);">MISS: </span>Slashed to the navel and up to the thigh, this makes Lady Gaga look like an unconvincing drag queen</p></div><div class="third"> <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/24/article-2052687-0E71978E00000578-228_196x616.jpg" alt="MISS: Pippa Middleton's dress breaks the 'keep it all simple' rule.
